A method of manufacturing an ink-jet head according to the present
invention includes a step of providing a vibration plate in which grooves
associated with respective pressure chambers are formed on a surface of
the vibration plate, and a piezoelectric layer forming step of forming a
piezoelectric layer by depositing particles of a piezoelectric material
on the surface of the vibration plate on an opposite side of a channel
unit. Since grooves corresponding to the grooves in the vibration plate
are formed also in the piezoelectric layer, it is possible to reduce a
cross talk between operating sections of the piezoelectric layer.
Further, chip and crack is hardly developed in the piezoelectric layer.
